How Mobile Apps Have Helped Enhance Fleet Management

There are so many fleet companies out there with new ones emerging every day. They deal with the transportation of goods and passengers. Many fleet companies have over a hundred vehicles which they use in their daily activities. Managing all of them at once can be a difficult task.

Fleet managers are the people responsible for managing the vehicles in their fleet. They may encounter many challenges as they try to ensure everything runs smoothly and the company is making gains. One of the challenges they face is in fuel management. In a bid to cut on operation costs, managers have to ensure everything is put into proper use.

Managing fuel is often difficult for them because they are not aware of how some of their drivers utilize it. Accidents are also a common thing in many fleets. At times, managers may have a difficult time monitoring the habits of some drivers while on the road.

This should no longer be a worry because improvements in technology have seen the introduction of various devices and software programs that are handy when it comes to fleet management. Fleet managers can use them to monitor the vehicles in their fleet and gather information which is vital in managing them.

EyeRide has the best technology fleet managers can use to enhance safety on the roads. There are also apps useful for this job because they can perform several tasks. Every driver and fleet manager should have them on their phones or tablets. Here is how they have helped enhance fleet management.

Reduced Paperwork
Drivers and managers don't have to deal with too much paperwork, thanks to these mobile apps. Traditional fleet management would force them to note down many things like the routes, departure time, among others, which were very hectic. Keeping all the data in writing is also risky as you can lose it. The availability of mobile apps has reduced all this.

Easy Communication
Communicating with the drivers has been made easier with these apps. Managers can reach them very fast once they detect a problem. They can communicate to them through the app or call them directly. This has helped ensure any problem is fixed quickly to guarantee a safe journey.

Actual Time Monitoring
The availability of these apps has helped enhance the proper monitoring of vehicles. You will always be in a position to know the state of your car in that moment. This will help managers know the speed at which a particular vehicle is going, and they can warn drivers to minimize the chances of being involved in an accident.

Location Tracking
Mobile apps have been helpful in monitoring the location of a specific vehicle. It is always important to know the location of a car all the time. This is because several things may happen while on the road. It enables easy tracking of vehicles in case of theft, hijacking and it is also useful in route planning. Drivers can avoid routes jammed with traffic.

As reported by Techcrunch, Amazon started the pilot 6 months ago, and already has more than 5,000 shops on-board. These shops will deliver the ordered products to the customer themselves.
